Do something about AFK killers
AFK killers are an everyday thing for me since i am at low mmr as survivor. Got 4-5 afk killer matches today itself. These killers just stand in one place all game and spam the attack button (using some software) so the game doesn't think they're afk. They are just dropping their mmr by going afk and some of them even have their name set to "dropping mmr". It's really boring going against them, just do all gens and leave. I am in Asia server, don't know if this is a problem in other servers too. This is also one the reasons mmr is bad for this game, these players try to manipulate it to go against the caliber they want to go against.

You can report them using both the in-game report function, and on report function on the website. AFAIK, AFK farming is, in fact, against the rules, and you can absolutely report them for it.
As for an automated function, that's a bit trickier. There are times when a Killer may need to sit still for a good amount of time, though this normally comes with meme strats/builds. With those kinds of scenarios in mind, an automated feature that requires the Killer to run or incur some kind of penalty would be hard to define without inadvertently attacking specific builds, playstyles, and meme strats.

Record video and report them.

I will try reporting them next time. Btw i did see a screenshot on facebook a dbd mobile player had posted, it said "you are banned for x amount of hours for being afk" So they are doing something about this i guess, if you are completely afk.

You know the funny part, SOMETIMES you can already tell the killer is gonna be afk from the lobby itself. Cuz they keep spamming the ready/unready button because of the same software they use to spam the attack button.

Record your matches and report them, using a macro to spam attack to stay afk and lower your MMR is bannable.

So if killer is spamming ready button, dodge the lobby? Good to know.

There's just so many of them doing this though. Sometimes i do get lazy to report.

No worries, if you remember great, if not oh well. 🤷♂️

They are already reportable as is.

Personally I'm grateful for them. It's the only way to get some challenges done.

They should maybe detect this kind of behavior by itself. Cuz it's an everyday thing.

I can imagine doing such somehow ends up with hackers flagging everyone else as "AFKer" and banning them.
